On Christmas Night…

This shot is also from Christmas in Davidson. Using my Sony A7r and Voightlander Nokton 50mm lens, I focused this beautiful ornament hanging down from one of the buildings across the street from the Green (where all the food and vendors are). By shooting with the lens fully open at f/1.1, the giant Christmas tree across the street on the Green turned into beautiful golden circles, the perfect background for the beautiful red and gold ornament. It also blurred out the blue night sky and branches at the top, framing the picture nicely.
